It’s time to find the Angel Way again.
Billy Hunter, who was the third base coach for the powerhouse Earl Weaver Orioles in the 60s and 70s, described the Oriole Way to the Washington Post in 1978, “The idea was to established a system, so there was no difference in fundamentals from one level to the next. From the rookie league to the big league, the Orioles had the same pickoff plays, the same cutoff plays, how to defense the double steal, how to defense the bunt.”
In the same vein as the Oriole Way, or the famed Dodgers and Cardinals Ways of Branch Rickey’s heydays, creating the Angel Way isn’t necessarily about a specific style of play.
